I, Tituba – Chapters 8-12 of Part II

This section of reading is mostly about Tituba’s experiences with leaving the prison to her new owner, Benjamin Cohen d’Azevedo. She talks about her screaming when she hears the chains around her ankles being broken off and that she felt as if she was being reborn into the world of suffering a second time. But, I’m pleased to finally see some good things happening for her. She has finally found a master that does not see her as evil. This is because she has allowed him to see his wife who has passed away from the invisible world. She even allowed his daughter to see her mother, whom she had a very good relationship with. And because of this he refuses for her to leave to go back to Barbados. I find this very strange but in a good way that someone wants to keep a “witch” around. However, this is only because Benjamin sees the good in Tituba’s talents.
